Some conversations made me raise my eyebrows a little. The ‘oh we go to a really academic school where everybody including us are smart’ thing made me roll my eyes.

But overall I enjoyed this so damn much. I had to walk for around 40 mins today and then had a train ride of 2hours and all I did was listen to the audiobook for this. Different people voice each character and the conversation flowed quite smoothly on 2x speed, I suspect the audiobook made the experience more enjoyable for me. This book was exactly what I needed right now and it’s a rare mood, so I’m glad I got to it.

Read this whole trilogy in like 4 days because I just . Could not have it it down. The audiobook experience was absolutely phenomenal.

Also really enjoyed how hmmm humanity? Reasoning? is portrayed in this book. Everyone is just trying to do their best regardless of how they go about it. even the monsters possess humanity and even humanity can be monstrous. ...more

During the whole reading experience, I was bored and I didn’t care. I considered DThis book was… not what I hoped for from the synopsis and the cover.

During the whole reading experience, I was bored and I didn’t care. I considered DNF-ing it but instead just skimmed most of it. I didn’t care about the characters nor the plot and I got annoyed by how much I didn’t care rip.

I also wish it was third person, rather than first, and that it didn’t have two POVs. I didn’t care for either character and thought Halvard’s POV was quite pointless. Sometimes, we would also have to sit through the same event from Tova’s eyes and then Halvard’s POV like 10 pages apart and I was not there for that. Once in enough. Also? A few times, something was discovered in one POV and it was once again uncovered in the other person’s POV and ??? Were we supposed to be surprised or affected at all the second time ?? (view spoiler)[for example, they each found out the fact that Kejr was her uncle during different times and I just couldn’t figure out the reason we had to witness them being surprised or w/e for a second times :| (hide spoiler)] Anyway, I just didn't see the reason for the 2 POVs, almost nothing would have been lost from the story without Halvard's chapters or if we just saw the events from Tova's POV.

I wish I felt anything but other than that one thing, I don’t even have specific things I disliked. Everything from the characters to writing was meh for me and altogether, it created for a boring experience.

I just finished reading this in one sitting and I’m not sure what to do with myself now that I’m done. Who was I before I read this? How did I survive without this story in my life?

I feel so much for Bea and Lou. It can sometimes be hard to connect with characters during a short graphic novel but these two wormed their way into my heart. I don’t think I’ll necessarily remember them for years to come but they suited the story perfectly.

The art was absolutely stunning. Only the first 12 pages were printed in colour because it’s an ARC but god those pages were certainly breathtaking. I might pick this up from the library after it’s released to see the whole book in all its glory.

Emotions and moods all transcended the page, despite it being in black and white. I’m very impressed by the plethora of emotions this book made me feel.

Also, the cat was a nice touch. I loved her.

Thank you so much to Raincoast for providing me with an ARC to review~...more

me who was feeling like a liar and was in one of those periods where i was questioning if i acc do like girls as if i haven’t agonized over it a thousand times and come to the same conclusion each time (answer: yes) and picked up the book to feel some sort of solidarity but couldn’t understand or connect with any of it: well fuck

this is so stupid but it’s after midnight and im tired and sad and disappointed and idk what is happening

like it kinda makes sense the author is a white american gay man while I’m a queer brown immigrant muslim woman and our experiences are wildly different and i don’t have to understand everyone’s feelings or situations but im so upset for not understanding or connecting with any of it ?? also feeling like the stupidest bitch on this planet like damn i acc cannot comprehend shittttt

all this writing yet none of it makes any sense and maybe i should delete the whole thing but i might return to this someday in the future and maybe i’ll like seeing my thoughts after I read it idk...more
